Desperate Dan and friends statues

Photographs Taken in Dundee, Scotland

These photos were taken on a day out to Dundee during my first ever holiday to Scotland in October 2018. Growing up I used to read a lot of comics, from action ones from Marvel and DC, to fun traditional comcs like the Dandy, home to great characters like Desperate Dan who first appeared on the 4th December 1937 and was created by Dudley D. Watkins, plus Minnie the Minx, Desperate Dawg and many, many more great characters! The statues are in Dundee, Scotland, which is where his publishers, D. C. Thomson & Co. are based.

If you are a comic book fan then any visit to Dundee would not be complete without going to see these historic life size characters.
